Cashback is store credit you earn on qualifying purchases. It’s tracked in your membership account, and you can redeem it in any dollar amount for future purchases, both in-store and online and towards any product.

Cashback expires after 180 days, so make sure to reinvest it into your art practice by applying it to your next purchase before it expires.

The new membership program launched on February 1, 2025. It’s designed to better reward loyal customers with cashback, exclusive benefits, and an easier way to track rewards through our Member Portal.

The new Opus Membership Program is designed to provide more rewards, flexibility, and meaningful support for your art practice, while better recognizing and rewarding our most loyal customers.

Instead of fixed discounts, you now earn cashback on every qualifying purchase, giving you more control over how and when you use your rewards. This allows you to save up and reinvest in your creative goals, rather than just saving a little in the moment.

The program unlocks exclusive benefits, including access to member-only sales, Early Access to rare public sales like Black Friday, and special events tailored to our members.

Unlike before, we’ve committed to offering fewer public sales and more member-exclusive ones, ensuring those who invest in their art are the ones most rewarded. Your membership now unlocks access to all sales and gives you a head start on key shopping events.

For Artist Members, cashback is earned on pretty much everything in-store and online, including professional-grade art supplies, offering savings that far exceed what was possible in the old program.

The new system also provides a clearer path for growth, with tier upgrades automatically rewarding your loyalty and unlocking more benefits as you spend and supports more customers than ever before at which ever stage they are at.

We’ve expanded on the benefits you loved—such as special offers and member-only pricing—while introducing a program that truly prioritizes the customers who need it most, making your membership a tool to support and grow your creative practice.

All existing members of our previous programs have been automatically moved to the new membership tiers based on their past spending:

Opus PLUS Members → Transitioned to the Base tier.

OPUS+ PRO Members → Transitioned to the Artist PRO tier.

Opus A+ (Students and Teachers) → Transitioned to our Artist Tier for 1 year and those not previously enrolled are eligible for a free year of the Artist tier after verification.

The past membership program has been retired and the new program offers more comprehensive benefits than the old one, including cashback on purchases, exclusive member sales, and Early Access to peak sales events. If you’re unsure about your specific benefits, feel free to ask one of our staff members.

We wanted to create a program that better supports our customers’ creative journeys. Cashback offers more flexibility, while exclusive events, Early Access, and member-only perks are tailored to reward our most loyal customers. The new program is also easier to navigate, more transparent, and offers a clear path to unlocking higher-tier benefits servicing more artist wherever they are at.
